I didn't expect anything other than an England win and they are clearly the better side. But I think @WelshRugbyUnion XIII are doing well against the England XVII considering. #6Nations #ENGvWAL

@bbc5live Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys. Opens with a dog barking and an absolute banger from a legendary outfit. Get it on the mix tape!

🚨 It's Mixtape time! 🎶 This week's theme is... animal noises! That's because producer Paul's (dad of 3 toddler triplets) most listened to song of the year is... Old MacDonald! Vocal impressions, instrumental impressions, or actual animal noises! 🐴🐷🦆🦉🐶 Let's hear 'em! 👇

I think I missed the memo. When did we go from pronouncing Claudia (Claude-iah) to Clowd-ee-ah? Is it different for a storm? Thoughts @ClaudiaWinkle ?

@theGLC If you know you knows! Who will be next...?

Paul… 😢

South Africa are the better side though. Just a young referee way out of his depth.

Office for the afternoon. Just a shame it is being ruined by some shockingly poor officiating. #fiveminutesoffame #abouttherugbynotthemaninthemiddle #RSAvWAL

@HistoryTigers @LeicesterTigers Happy Birthday to the colossus of a man. A legend both on and off the paddock.

JULIAN MARTIN WHITE Born on 14 May 1973, Julian White arrived at @LeicesterTigers as a well travelled tight-head in New Zealand, Wales, Saracens and Bristol. He would make Welford Road his home for nine seasons.

Happy Birthday to the big man! Absolute legend on and off the pitch. @OkehamptonRFC @Albion_RFC @hbmagpies @bridgendravens @Saracens @BristolBears @LeicesterTigers @EnglandRugby @lionsofficial

Easiest days pay ever for @NickyAACampbell on @5liveSport today. The look of despair on his face as the Karen's and melts get so worked up about Nike reimaging of the Saint George's cross on the new @EnglandFootball kit. Pandora's box has well and truly been opened! #laughing

Is it any wonder that Italy have improved since their water/tee carrier is a proper Roadman and Naughty Boy? @Federugby #6nations #thegentlemen

@ExeterChiefs Not surprised at the score a fully professional side are putting on a side that unlike the Army Rugby Union have day jobs in our oldest military service. Especially if you can sin bin and keep 15 players on the pitch with no advantage to the other side. What's the point?

Half-Time ⏱️ An action packed first half as both sides have enjoyed their time on the ball. Some impressive defensive sets on show as well. ⚔️ 35- 7 ⚓️ #JointheJourney | #EXEvRNR

@ExeterChiefs Friendly or not what a stupid rule or agreement. What's the point? You get binned for foul play and there is no advantage to the opposition and the player gets a breather. No learning takes place in that situation. What next, a power play where you can have 16 on the pitch?

27' As tonight's game is a friendly, the two sides are to have 15 men on the field at all times. And so, Jack Innard is brought onto the field to replace the sin-binned Tshiunza. ⚔️ 28 - 7 ⚓️ #EXEvRNR

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! Happy St. David’s Day!

Late for food tonight so ventured to Yummy Kitchen in Crickhowell. Changed hands and changed name and food was shockingly poor. £8 for chips and curry sauce. Dried cardboard chips with bitter aftertaste and curry sauce with consistency and flavour of water. Won't be returning!

@daviesvfl1900 Then I look forward to the 2027 Touch Rugby World Cup. Not.

@patricksmidmore In your opinion

Why is this taking so long? Nothing in that just a rugby incident if you could even call it that. Never a yellow card! Think the game is officially dead. #ENGvWAL #6Nations

As always great coverage of the rugby from @BBCSport and happy that I am back home in Wales to get @S4C coverage of the England v Wales match saving me from the turgid biased @ITVSport offering. #6Nations

What a game and what an end to the Second v France match. Was it a try? Most likely, but footage not clear so on field call stands. Cracking game and well played both sides. #SCOvFRA #6Nations

Ebbw Vale RFC are sad to announce the passing of one the clubs greatest ever players, Gareth Howls. Gareth made 608 appearances for the Steelmen, his only club, between 1965 and 1981. Tribute to Gareth Howls: evrfc.co.uk/tribute-to-gar… RIP Gareth A True Steelman
